II. UNDOCUMENTED FEATURES
----------------------------

FINDING LAN MULTIPLAYER GAMES

If a multiplayer game is being hosted on a computer which does not have access
to the internet, players will not be able to find the game in the standard
listing. Clients connecting to a LAN-only game will have to use the "Join LAN
Game" option under the multiplayer menu.

PERFORMANCE OPTIONS

PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS: Select performance options depending on system specifications.

*Fast Performance: Highly recommended for (300MHz-450MHz) systems.
*Average Performance: Recommended for (500MHz-700MHz) systems.
*Slow Performance, High Detail: Recommended for (733MHz or Higher)

DISPLAY: This is the Advanced Display menu. Here you can customize the
following options:

*Texture Resolution: Configure texture resolutions for the World, Weapons,
Characters, Props, Special Effects, and Sky.
*Light Maps: Toggle between vertex shading and dual-pass textured lighting.
NOTE: Turning off Light Maps is one way to greatly increase performance.
If your system is near the minimum specifications and seems to run slowly,
turn Light Maps off.
*Mirrors: Toggle mirrors on or off.
NOTE: Resolution Screen Depth must be set to 32-Bit, e.g. 800x600x32.
This feature is not supported on video cards without a stencil buffer.
*Shadows: Circular or None.
*Detail Textures: Turns on or off detail textures for higher texture detail at close range.
*Environment Map: Makes objects in the world "shiny".
*Model Chrome: Makes guns "shiny".
*Trilinear Filtering: Removes mipmap banding artifacts.
This feature is only supported on video cards which support trilinear filtering.
*Triple Buffering: Reduces screen tearing and increases rendering performance at
the cost of more video memory.

SPECIAL EFFECTS: These options adjust various effects which alter rendering performance.

*Tracers: Toggles tracers on fired weapons.
*Shell Casings: Turns on or off the shell casings ejected while firing.
*Muzzle Flash Lighting: Toggles the dynamic lighting associated with the muzzle flash on guns.
*Weather: Toggles weather effects
*Weapon Impacts: Sets the number of remembered weapon impact effects.
*Debris: Sets the amount of debris caused by shooting a surface.

SOUND FILTERING EFFECTS: Toggles the use of dynamic sound processing to simulate the environment.

*WARNING: This feature can cause performance issues particularly on low-end machines.

DEDICATED SERVER (NolfServ.exe)

You can run a dedicated server on the Internet, or on your local LAN. Ideally,
the hosting system will exceed the minimum system spec for processor speed and
RAM. Players will experience smoother gameplay on your server if it has more of
both of these things. A high-bandwidth Internet connection (ISDN or faster) is
also preferable.

Run the dedicated server either by clicking the NolfServ server icon in your
start menu, or by double-clicking the NolfServ.exe in your Nolf installation
folder. You will then go through a multiplayer setup wizard. The pages of the
wizard correspond to the in-game hosting menus.

NOTE: If you wish to run a dedicated server, you'll need to install the full version
of the game. A minimum install will not function properly.

NOTE: The purpose of the standalone server is to provide a dedicated computer as the host.
It was not designed to run on the same computer as a client.
If you wish to use the same computer as both host and client,
you'll need to host the game using the in-game multiplayer menus.
Otherwise you may see strange results while playing such as not being able to climb ladders.

When you get to the last window of the wizard and hit the Finish button, there
will be a pause while the server starts and the first world is loaded. When the
server starts running, you will see the dedicated-server main window. This
window is broken up into 5 sections that are described below:

SERVER INFO

*Name: This is the name of your server as seen by players when they are
looking for a server to join.
*Running Time: This shows the total time your server has been running.
*Total Players: This shows the total number of players that have visited
your server.
*Peak Players: This shows the highest number of players that were on your
server at one time.

GAME INFO

*Players: This shows the number of players currently on your server.
*Time in Level: Shows the time the current level has been running.
*Average Ping: Shows the average ping of the players currently in your level.

PLAYERS

This shows the list of players that are currently on your server.
The list has the following columns that describe each player:

*Name: The name of the player.
*Ping: The ping from the player to the server.
*Kills: The number of kills the player has scored in this level.
*Time: The length of time this player has been on the server.

There is a button below the list of players labeled "Boot".
Use this button to remove a player from your server.

LEVELS

This shows a list of levels that the server will be running and the order they will run in.
The current level is indicated with a black dot to the left of the level name.
Below the list of levels, there are three buttons which are described below:

*Next Level: Go to the next level immediately without having to wait for the
level ending conditions to be met.
*Select Level: Go to the currently highlighted level immediately without having
to wait for the level ending conditions to be met.
You can also just double click the level.
*Stop Server: This will stop the server and close NolfServ.

CONSOLE

This shows a scrolling display of the server's internal commands and status.
Chat messages from players will also appear here.
To send players messages from the command line interface at the bottom,
precede the message with "say" and enclose the message in quotes.
For instance if you entered: say "hello everyone!" all clients would see the
message "hello everyone!" from "Host". Advanced users can enter Lithtech console commands
in this command line. To clear the display entirely, click the Clear button.

ADVANCED SERVER: For advanced server setup, the following commands are available:

*LeashLen: Specifies the allowable distance between the client's position
and where the server thinks the client should be. Defaults to 2.0.

*LeashSpring: Specifies the distance inside of which the server will
interpolate the server's position to match the client's position.
Outside of this distance, the server's position will be forced to the client's position.
Defaults to 150.0.

*LeashSpringRate: Defines how quickly the interpolation will happen between the
server and client positions, in the range 0.0-1.0. Lower numbers lead to slower
interpolation. (Which gives smoother movement, but greater error.) 0.0 will stay at the
server's position, and 1.0 will teleport the server object to the client's position.
The default value is 0.1.

DAMAGE ICONS

When a player takes damage from the various ammo types in NOLF, a damage icon
will appear along the left had side of the screen. Damage from specialized
ammunition can be countered by various gear items available in the game.
NOTE: The dum dum ammo icon displayed in the manual has changed slightly. The new
icon is a red blood drop.

WEAPON AND GADGET KEY BINDING

Under Options/Controls/Weapon Hotkeys, you can bind the weapons and gadgets
of your choice to number keys 1 through 0. Icons for these items will
then show up along the right hand side of the screen. A number will appear
within each icon corresponding to the key number. If you do not possess
a weapon or gadget, then that icon will not appear on the screen. Because
of the huge number of weapons and gadgets in the game, some people prefer to
rebind every few missions. Others prefer to bind only gadgets to each key.
The choice is yours.

HARDWARE CURSOR

Under Options/Display you can select Hardware Cursor on or off. On means that
the cursor is not bound to the game's framerate which in most cases means
it is much smoother and easier to use throughout the game's menus. However, many
cards do not support a hardware cursor.

ADDITIONAL GAME OPTIONS

Under Options/Game, there are several additional options not included in the
manual.
*Head bob: Sets the amount the screen will bob up and down as you move.
*Weapon sway: Sets the amount your weapon will sway left and right when you move.
*Pickup message duration: This option will set how long the pick-up messages
appear on your screen.
*Objective Messages: Toggles the display of "Mission Objectives Updated" messages.

III. NOTES ON COMPATIBILITY
-----------------------------

FUNCTIONALITY

No One Lives Forever Game of the Year Edition is designed to function with
Windows 95/98/2000/ME-compatible graphics and sound cards. Drivers for these various
devices are provided by Windows itself or the respective card manufacturers and may
occasionally result in compatibility problems beyond our control.

Windows® XP Home and Professional Editions as of RTM build (2600) experienced no
problems running No One Lives Forever Game of the Year Edition however there was limited
testing with this O.S. and is not supported at this time.

If you experience any problems, it is always recommended that you obtain the
latest drivers for your hardware. Driver updates resolve the overwhelming
majority of compatibility issues. Most hardware vendors make their drivers
available on their web site. If you are unsure of a web site URL for a
particular hardware vendor, you may want to try accessing one of the popular
Windows software update sites such as http://www.windrivers.com. Additionally,
a brief list of the chipset and board manufacturer web sites appears below for
your reference.

Iv. KNOWN ISSUES
-------------------

WINDOWS® 2000:

A problem with Microsoft's DirectInput may cause mouse or keyboard functions to
keep repeating when the keys or buttons are pressed in conjunction with other
buttons. Striking the "stuck" key or button again should cause the function to
stop repeating. Microsoft has released a service pack to fix this bug which is
available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows.

Striking the Shift key five times may cause the 'Stick Key' feature to become
enabled in Windows 2000. If this happens, a computer will task switch to a
desktop dialogue box with options related to the feature, including one to
disable it entirely.

Under Windows 2000 when running at a 256 color desktop resolution, No One Lives
Forever will minimize and nothing happens. User must "End Task" to quit
application. This can be corrected by making sure that your desktop color is
set to 16-Bit or higher.

WINDOWS® 9x:

After quitting the game, starting another application or game may bring up an
Explorer or msgserv error. You may need to reboot your computer to continue.
*This error has to do with the D3D API and is common on D3D games.
We've looked at this and it seems like it is related to D3D code.
DirectX® 8 may resolve this issue.

GRAPHICS:

TEXT ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS ON THE MENUS: Some cards may display the menu text out
of alignment. While we have done what we can to address this, the problem will
need to be corrected through driver updates from the board manufacturers.
*Please check your board manufacturer's web site for the latest drivers.
This is seen with the ATI Radeon, RAGE 128 Chipsets, and Savage Chipsets.

MISSING CURSOR ON THE MENUS: This problem can occur on several different cards
and may be fixed by a driver update. In addition, because some cards do not
support a hardware cursor such as the one used in No One Lives Forever, you
have the option to disable the hardware cursor via the Advanced Options button
from the game launcher.
*Simply select "Disable Hardware Cursor" and you will
be provided with a software cursor.

PROBLEM ADJUSTING CURSOR COLOR: If adjusting the cursor colors is causing No One
Lives Forever to crash, please change your screen bit depth to 32-bit (e.g.800x600x32)
If you want, after you adjust your cursor color, you can then change back to 16-bit.

INTRO MOVIES PLAYING AT LOW FRAME RATES: This problem occurs with the following cards:
Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo 2/3/4/5. Simply hit the left mouse button to bypass movies.

CORRUPTED MIRRORS: In some rare instances, mirrors in the game may appear corrupted.
*Changing to a 32-bit desktop screen mode should resolve the problem.

CORRUPTED GRAPHICS IN THE MENUS WITH THE SAVAGE CHIPSET, ATI ALL-IN-WONDER CHIPSETS
AND ATI RAGE 128 CHIPSET CARDS: Turning down all display settings to the lowest settings
will help remedy this issue.
*Also it can only be corrected via a future driver update.

ATI ALL-IN-WONDER/PRO: We have found that running NO ONE LIVES FOREVER with the drivers
that ship with the video card is more stable compared to the newer drivers
that are currently available.

CORRUPTED GRAPHICS WITH THE MATROX CHIPSET CARDS: This problem occurs rarely.
*This problem can usually be fixed by choosing 16 Bit, rather than 32 Bit, color mode.

CORRUPTED GRAPHICS DURING GAMEPLAY USING VOODOO BANSHEE CHIPSET CARDS:
This problem seems to occur most frequently on Windows 2000 systems.
*Lowering the detail setting will most likely resolve the problem.

VOODOO 3: There are no visible chrome effects seen on walls even though
everything is turned up in the performance menu, the walls in The Assignment
training level don't have any shining or chroming effects.
*Environment mapping and Detail texturing are not supported on the Voodoo3.

VOODOO 5: Mild to severe discoloration can sometimes occur with the Voodoo 5
when using the two or four pass anti-aliasing modes.
*In the launcher under Advanced Options, type "+S3TCEnable 0" into the
command line and check the "Always use these settings" box.
This should correct the problem.

VOODOO 5: May experience a split-screen effect while quitting the game.
*This a hardware issue with the video card switching from the D3D renderer to the Desktop.
This will not affect Desktop settings.

VIA CHIPSETS: Major Graphic Dropout in Menus, Poor Game Performance.
*Download the latest 4 in 1 drivers and video display drivers to correct these issues.
The 4 in 1 driver can be obtained at the following link:
http://www.viatech.com/drivers/index.htm

AMD CHIPSETS: Major Graphic Dropout in Menus, Poor Game Performance.
*Download the AGP Miniport and latest driver pack from the AMD website at:
http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/bin/

TNT/TNT2/GEFORCE: With video cards running nVidia's Detonator3 drivers
(v.6.18), you may experience an inability to change your desktop resolution
after running NOLF. Also WIN ME owners may experience a "Windows Protection
Error" when trying to restart, or shutting down Windows.
*This is due to a bug in these drivers, and may be remedied by installing a
new version of the drivers.
Obtain these drivers at www.nvidia.com

RIVA 128 CHIPSETS: Alpha Blend Issues
*There are a number of rendering issues on the Riva128
which are due to a combination of hardware and driver issues which result
in occasionally strange graphic anomalies particularly with Alpha blending.

ASUS (TNT/GeForce) DRIVERS ISSUE: When the user plays the Co-Op level "Storm"
with the retail driver provided by ASUS, the game will kick the user out to the desktop.
This only happen on this level and all the other Co-Op levels are fine.
*Using the Detonator 4 Drivers from Nvidia will correct this. Also a
future driver update from ASUS may correct this issue.

TNT/GEFORCE CARDS NOT DISPLAYING IN-GAME FOG: Make sure that "Enable Fog Table
Emulation" is checked. This option can be found in Control Panel, Double Click
the "Display" icon, click on the "Settings" tab, click on the "Advanced"
button, click on the TNT/Geforce tab, click on the "Additional Properties"
button, and click on the "Direct3D Settings" tab.

SOUND:

SOUNDBLASTER AWE 32/64 PCI: There's a rare issue of sound choppiness
and drop out.
*Make sure you have the latest driver from your sound card
manufacturer and check for device conflicts.

SOUNDCARD IS NOT BEING DETECTED OR DISABLED:
Subtitles will not appear in the game if you do not have a soundcard, if your
soundcard is not detected or if you have disabled your soundcard.

PERIPHERALS:

INTELLIMOUSE EXPLORER/OPTICAL PS2 ADAPTER: Additional mouse buttons are not being detected.
*If you're using the PS2 adapter for this mouse, NOLF can only use the left mouse button,
middle/wheel button, and right mouse button. The two side (Additional) buttons will only be detected
if the latest intellipoint drivers are used and connected directly into the USB port.

DEVICES:

CD-ROM: When playing multiplayer using Minimum Install, the application constantly seeks the CD/DVD ROM causing lag.
*Make sure that the Supplemental Cache Size for the CD-ROM is set to Full and that the Optimize Access Pattern
is set to "Quad Speed or Higher". You can access these features within the Control Panel and double clicking
the System icon. This will bring up the System Properties Screen. At this point select the "Performance" tab
and click on "File System" located near the bottom left hand corner. This will bring up the "File Systems
Properties" menu. Now select the "CD-ROM" tab and this is where the changes can be made. It's also recommended
that a 32X or faster CD/DVD ROM should be used when playing Multiplayer using a minimum install.
